Repair and Service Manual
Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
In order to prevent damage to the bat-
tery charger transformer, blow water
from charger with compressed air. Allow sufficient time (1 - 2
hours) after washing the vehicle for the transformer to dry
before operating the charger.
PMC Controller should be covered during washing of the vehi-
cle.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Some maintenance items must be serviced
more frequently on vehicles used under severe
driving conditions.
This vehicle will give years of satisfactory service provid-
ing it receives regular maintenance. Refer to the Periodic
Service Schedule for appropriate service intervals (Ref
Fig. 19 on page A-10). Refer to Lubrication Points for
appropriate lubrication locations (Ref Fig. 4 on page A-
2).
Do not use more than three (3) pumps
of grease in each grease fitting at any
one time. Excess grease may cause grease seals to fail or
grease migration into areas that could damage components.
Putting more than three pumps of grease in a grease fit-
ting could damage grease seals and cause premature
bearing failure.
REAR AXLE
The only maintenance to the rear axle for the first five
years is the periodic inspection of the lubricant level. The
rear axle is provided with a lubricant level check/fill plug
located on the bottom of the differential. Unless leakage
is evident, the lubricant need only be replaced after five
years.
Checking the Lubricant Level
With the vehicle on level ground, clean the area around
the check/fill plug and remove plug. The correct lubricant
level is just below the bottom of the threaded hole. If
lubricant is low, add as required. Add lubricant slowly
until lubricant starts to seep from the hole. Install the
check/fill plug. In the event that the lubricant is to be
replaced, the vehicle must be elevated and the oil pan
removed or the oil siphoned out through the check/fill
hole (Ref Fig. 5 on page A-2).
BRAKES
Service brakes in accordance with the Perodic Service
Schedule (Ref Fig. 19 on page A-10). Lubricate brake
bushes and linkage (Ref Fig. 6 on page A-3).
